About Me

I've completed a university degree, done some extensive travelling through Western Europe, gotten my SCUBA certification, galloped race horses, hung out with the most awesome people imagineable in Australia, served in the military, done exchange programs in France and Germany, jumped out of a plane at angels 10, competed on a rifle team and been a veterinary technician/nurse for years now. You know. Fun stuff. I have the world's coolest cat (see Pics) and I'm happy most of the time, although I'm known to have psychotic moments at irregular intervals. Like when I run out of Vegemite. It's my addiction.

My Interests

Animals, languages, travelling, music, staying alive somehow...

I'd like to meet:

God. Just not yet. And the Devil. But apparently I've already met him, thinly disguised. He's lovely, for the record, and not at all how you would envision him.

Music:

Pinky Beecroft & The White Russians, PK Spaceship, The Whitlams, MGF, Missy Higgins, Super Massive, Loveshark & The Stoner Funk Orchestra, Mandy Kane and a whole bunch of artists and groups that fall under every genre imaginable. Certain friends of mine are working at gradually eliminating some/most of them and adding others, so who knows what will be listed here in the future? But it's guaranteed to be varied and extensive.

Movies:

I watch and enjoy just about any kind of movie... dramas, action, chick flicks, war, comedy... anything except horror. They're so stupid they're ridiculous. Seriously. My favourite actor? Alan Rickman. Second favourite? Hugh Grant, who also hails from Hammersmith, London, England. A strange coincidence.

Television:

Don't really watch it, but when I do, the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet are where it's at.

Books:

I've had to read so many in German and French for uni I haven't picked up anything in English in so long I don't even know what English literature looks like anymore. Sad, indeed. But generally? Anything that gets me questioning things, which I've actually been doing alot of lately! So stuff by Richard Bach and Deepak Chopra, for example.

Heroes:

Spencer the Striped Wonder. He's grey and white with the most stunning, green eyes. He has a fabulous tail, lovely whiskers and doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks... as long as dinner finds its way to his dish, he's happy. Very cool. All my family members are heroes to me. Who else have seen me through it all? I also have tremendous respect for Terri Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter's widow). Her strength and determination are unparalleled.

My Blog

It's a small world...

So, while all you peeps have been hanging out at The Great Escape in Sydney, listening to the likes of Joel Plaskett, who hails from my city of Halifax might I add, I've been partying with a bunch of ...

Rollercoaster, for your listening pleasure...

I've put up Rollercoaster from MGF as my song for today. Maybe for many days. Who knows?Partly because it reminds me of a whole bunch of ridiculously happy stuff that was to be the awesome...

There is a God...

A friend of mine just discovered Vegemite in a specialty store here in Halifax. OMG, I've died and gone to Heaven. Seriously.

Realization...

It hit me last night as I was staring at my ceiling, trying to fall asleep, that even if I didn't hand in any more of my assignments or papers, even if I completely bombed my finals, I would still be ...

Spring is in the air...

I can sense it. Everywhere around me the winter's chill is dissipating; the deep freeze has let go of the Earth and in its place, there's a new-found warmth that's thawing all it comes into cont...

Hey, how did this happen?!

I'm kind of excited about this. I blinked and suddenly I'm another year older, another year - ahem - wiser. I think. But yes, I just woke up and realized what day it was and that put...

The fall semester is DONE!

Yes. Yes it is. And it's a delightful feeling. Handed in my last paper today, as a matter of fact. How good is that? So now I can work some extra hours, catch up on sleep...

OMG, 2 months have gone by...

2 whole months since I posted anything on here. What gives, you ask? Ummm.... I dunno. I fell off the edge of the planet. It happens occasionally. No worries, I always co...

I'm moving!

By tomorrow afternoon I'll be in my new place, and I can't wait! Only thing is I won't have Internet access or my phone hooked up for a few days. So I'm going to essentially vanish off the...
